Tax-Gomez is a pastor at the El Señor Justicia Nuestra Church, which rents space for its services inside another church in the 1300 block of Chico Street in Menlo Park, police said. The church could not be reached for comment.

It wasn’t immediately clear where the alleged assault occurred or if the incidents involved parishioners at the church.

Investigators said that both adults and children were sexually assaulted by the pastor.

The abuse was discovered after several victims reported what happened to them to authorities, police said.
